DHTML and Variables

[MediCat]

Hi guys. Is there any way I can place (call) a custom variable into a dhtml code? There aren't many tutorials over the net so I hope my question isn't really stupid D:

I mean I have code like

my_variable = 228
SCBHTML:SetHTML( [[<iframe bla src="blablabla"..my_variable.."blableblya"></iframe>]] )

And this devil refuses to work :c

You're using [[ to start the string so you need to close the string, concat your variable, and then concat the last part of that string

I would use string formatting ([img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/string/format]string.format[/url])

Something like:

[lua]
local my_variable = 228
local html_content = [[
<p>The value of my_variable is: %d</p>
]]

SCBHTML:SetHTML(string.format(html_content, my_variable))
[/lua]

Well, this should work brilliant, thanks for the idea. But what if I already have "%" chars in the HTML code?

UPD: Yay I replaced all %'s with %% and it worked brilliantly! Thank you so much :3
